Bio

Learning a new subject can be challenging. Let me help you or your child learn math quickly and enjoyably.

Mathematics and languages are my biggest strengths for teaching. In high school I got 5 in AP Calculus, AP Physics, and AP Spanish. I studied Economics and French at UCLA. I'm trilingual, speaking Spanish fluently (my native tongue) and French.

Learning a new subject can be challenging. Let me help you or your child learn math quickly and enjoyably.

Mathematics and languages are my biggest strengths for teaching. In high school I got 5 in AP Calculus, AP Physics, and AP Spanish. I studied Economics and French at UCLA. I'm trilingual, speaking Spanish fluently (my native tongue) and French.

I began tutoring in 2006 in college. I have great experience and success teaching students Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra II (Intermediate Algebra), Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. With regards to languages, I like to focus on building conversational confidence and proper accent development.

I know it can be hard to find the right tutor which is why I always guarantee my lessons to all my students: if for whatever reason they are not 100% satisfied with the lesson, I will not charge them. This gives you an opportunity to see my teaching style and decide if you want to continue.

I am looking for dedicated and hard working students that are willing to work hard to improve. Contact me and we'll make your learning experience fun and worthwhile.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I tutor ACT math. My method involves taking practice ACT and going over best strategies for best guesses. I go over major foundations that are tested. I recommend a minimum of 1 month 6 hours a week for the syllabus.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

This has to be one of my favorite subjects because it's the foundation to advanced math subjects leading to Calculus. I learned Algebra from my big brother in elementary school and ever since I became in love with math. It's very common to review some concepts of Pre-Algebra as we move forward to strengthen foundations. I personalize lessons based on your needs that I assess in the first two meetings. I like to drill math concepts to have a solid memorization and mastery that will provide the confidence needed to succeed in this and future math courses.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have consistently improved my Algebra 2 students' grades by at least one letter grade by planning and executing a weekly schedule. My style of tutoring focuses on building confidence through practicing problems with increased difficulty and highlighting and becoming aware of repeated mistake areas. We track everything on a dedicated notebook.
Calculus

Calculus

I love seeing my Calculus students improve. I have been tutoring 15+ years and see a lot of Calculus students, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, Calculus 1, Calculus 2 (College) thrive with a bit of guidance and instruction. My students refer to me as personable and approachable. I adapt my teaching style to your needs.
Physics

Physics

Took both in high school and got 5 in AP Physics C (both Mechanical and E&M) and Physics B, which is now Physics 1 and 2.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Over half of my students are pre-calculus students. Many of my students increase one or two letter grades with my help and instruction.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have 5 years teaching Trigonometry and Precalculus. I help students understand Trigonometry and get better grades without the suffering of boring and tedious work.
Geometry

Amazing tutor

Using Richi for Business calculus and was truly amazing. I was in a different country and he still was very accommodating with timing and overall was able to meet many times. I don’t really know what I would have done without him, broke down concepts and re taught them which was great. Overall the best tutor I have ever had and would recommend him to ANYONE that has any questions regarding math :)

Don’t hire Richi before reading this.

Richi is truly a diamond in the rough. I hired him to help me prepare for my GED math test, and in just one month, he took me from struggling with fractions to confidently solving advanced algebraic problems. What sets Richi apart isn’t just his knowledge; it’s the way he teaches. He has this rare gift of breaking down highly complex math concepts into pieces that are not only easy to understand but stick with you. He doesn’t just tell you what to do. He helps you understand the why and the how behind each step, connecting it all in a way that cements it into your long-term memory. Thanks to him, I’m not just solving problems from memorization. I can explain why they work, and that has given me a level of confidence I never imagined possible. On top of crafting a brilliant study plan and sharing not just any resources, but the right resources, Richi showed up with something even rarer: a heart. His fantastic personality, patience, and genuine care made the learning process easier and even enjoyable. When learning got tough, his support was like an ice pack to a bruise. It soothed the frustration and kept me going. Honestly, I have so many more good things to say about Richi, but I’ll leave it at this: he’s probably one of the most amazing and brilliant tutors on this platform. Whether you’re hiring him for your son, daughter, or yourself, he is likely one of the best investments you will ever make. I’m deeply grateful I crossed paths with him, and his teaching will stick with me for the rest of my life.

Very effective tutor

Richi really went above and beyond when tutoring my son in Calculus I. He took the time to analyze my son's learning style, and offered a mix of encouragement and suggestions to ensure my son remained on track. Richi held him accountable in a constructive and effective way. If you're looking for results I highly recommend Richi.

Excited to see results and growth

Very excited to see how my son will progress with Richi as they work on Algebra prior to my son starting high school. Richi seems organized and has positive energy. Thinking he will be able to keep my son engaged and stimulated. Looking forward to watching my son's math skills develop as I believe he's got a good brain for math. Thanks Richi!

Very Effective Tutor

Richi was a very informative, patient, and friendly instructor. He guided me through my work methodically explaining the process and allowing me to articulate and apply my learning. Richi deconstructed and made easy the content for my hardest Calculus course yet.
